Ok, so I thought I had better get a move on with completing my tasks as time is a creeping. The perfect night presented itself for me to complete a task - the centurion drinking game (have a shot of beer every minute for 100 minutes).
Jeni and I had bought some cheeses to accompany my home made chutney (yes well, I am nearly 30!) and we were eagerly awaiting Nikki to return from holiday, so a chilled Saturday night in was planned. After demolishing the cheese and pate (even after Nikki accidentally sat on it), I suggested I complete the centurion game. How hard can it be? One shot of beer every minute for 100 minutes, surely that's just taking a large sip of beer every minute?! I worked out that was not even 5 pints, I can handle that, I have been training for it most weekends since my late ('sh) teens... However it did not occur to me at the time not to attempt this game after consuming half a bottle of wine - NOT recommended!!!
So it started and my god it was NOT easy. Nikki had warned me of her experience of only reaching 70 shots before being sick :( I discovered quickly that beer is quite gassy, therefore after 7 shots I was feeling very bloated and tried a tactic of opening lots of cans to allow the gas to leave and the beer to become flat... this was not successful. The squeamish ones of you may not want to read on..
When Nikki and I agreed to do this whole '30 things before your 30' I knew there was going to be an element of embarrassment and cringe worthy events, however I dont think I fully thought it through... I promised to divulge all information.. So this is what I remember of the night.
At 30 shots I was violently sick, a part of the evening that Jeni and Nikki did not enjoy, they were hiding out on the balcony giggling at my misfortune. I then continued and reached 70 shots - this was after participating in a little dance around my lounge and a 'special' dance I wish could be blocked from my mind on my balcony (remember at this point that Jeni and Nikki hadn't been drinking much at all) - before I was sick again, I didn't mind it so much at this point as it was more of a necessity to enable room in my stomach to finish the task, the rest I am afraid to say is a slight blur... I was however reminded by my friend Jodi (who lives in New York) that I rang her work landline and left her a lengthy voicemail whilst singing a version of Alisha Keys 'New York'... [cringe]
Luckily for me I have "great" friends who video'd events of the night so that I wouldn't forgot, this mainly occurred after LOTS of beer was consumed. The video that I watched the next day (whilst considering to kill myself) was Nikki and Jeni telling me over and over that I had actually done 138 shots and not the 100 required - Bitches!!!!
With very little respect left for myself, the challenge continues....
PS - the video's will NEVER been seen... ever!!!
